1579Carta geografica tratta dal rarissimo Itinerarium Europae Provinciae edito a Colonia tra il 1579 e il 1588. Conosciuto anche come Itinerarium Orbis Christiani, questo atlante fu pubblicato anonimamente a causa dei problemi politici e religiosi che caratterizzavano il periodo storico, come spesso succedeva aal'epoca per sfuggire alle persecuzioni cattoliche contro i protestanti. L'opera fa parte degli atlanti editi dalla cosidetta scuola Cartografica di Colonia, durata per circa mezzo secolo (1570-1620 ca.), e formata principalmente da rifugiati fiamminghi ed olandesi tra i quali spiccano lo stesso Matthaeus Quad e Frans Hogenberg, che ne fu il fondatore. Le mappe sono attribuite alcune a Jan Matal ed altre a Michael von Eitzing. Jan Matal o Metellus, francese di nascita ed attivo a Louvaine ed a Colonia, dove si rifugia prprio per sfuggire alle persecuzioni dei regnanti cattolici e dove muore nel 1597. Fu tra i maggiori cartografi del tempo e, insieme al Quad e al Hogenberg stesso, il principale esponente della scuola coloniese. Alcune delle mappe del Matal sono poi successivamente incluse nelle successive pubblicazioni postume, e recano il testo al verso. Dal punto di vista cartografico le mappe sono una derivazione e basate sulle carte pubblicate ad Anversa da Abraham Ortelius, per la prima volta nel 1570; le incisioni delle mappe sono invece attribuite a Frans Hogenberg. La grandissima rarità dell'opera, insieme alla scarsità di informazioni sulle opere "carbonare" edite a Colonia, contribuisce al fascino di questa importante mappa, caposaòdo di ogni collezione cartografica. Incisioni in rame, magnifica coloritura coeva, in buono stato di conservazione. Opera di incredible rarità, mancante in praticamente tutte le collezioni. Esemplare di primo stato, avanti il numero. 13 aggiunto in basso a sinistra e prima dle testo al verso Map from the very rare Initerarium Europae Provinciae, published in Cologne between 1579 and 1588. Also known as Itinerarium Orbis Christiani, this atlas was published anonymously due to the political and religious problems that characterized that particular period, i.e., the persecutions suffered by the Protestants who were threatened by the Catholics. The work belongs to the atlases published by the so called Cartographic school of Cologne, whose works were published along fifty years (1570-1620). The school was mainly made of Flemish and Dutch refugees among which Mattheaus Quad and Frans Hogenberg, the founder of the institution. The maps have been ascribed to Jan Matal and Michale von Eitzing. Jan Matal, or Metellus, was born in France and worked in Louvaine and Cologne, where he fled to escape the Catholic persecution and where he died in 1597. He was considered one of the greatest cartographers of his time and one of the most important artists of the school of Cologne, together with Quad and Hogenberg. some of his maps have been afterwards included in some posthumous works with the text on verso. From a cartographic point of view, the maps derive from those published by Abraham Ortelius in Antwerp in 1570; the engravings instead have been ascribed to Frans Hogenberg. The rarity of this work, together with the lack of information on the secret works published in Cologne confer a particular charm to this map, a bench mark for every collector. Copper engravings, magnificent contemporary colours, in very good condition. Extremely rare work, not present in any collection. Example in the first state, before the number was added.

1835ref. 5845C. Van Benthuysen; George H. Evans; 1835 1840 1841 1852. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 5 vols bound into contemporary cloth 7.25 x 4.63 inches frontispiece 202; 2; vii-viii ix-xxv 1; 4; frontispiece 4 126; 122; 74 pages. Excised leaf of an advertisement also laid in. First American editions of the Bible of Nature and of the Opus Maximum. Walking Stewart articulated a materialist philosophy of Nature which combined elements of pantheism with yogic notions of a single indissoluble consciousness. These early American imprints must have been read by the New England transcendentalists but I don't recall seeing Stewart discussed in the major biographies of Emerson or Thoreau. In any event the similarity is striking for example to Thoreau's Walking. The two volumes here of The Bible of Nature were published together by a consortium of free thought and radical publishers including expatriate English free thought emigrants Gilbert Vale and George Evans and by J. P. Mendum; the second volume as collected here appears either to be fragmentary or published solely as an introduction to stereotype editions of the Evans editions of Moral State of Nations and the Revelation of Nature. Something of a bibliographical tangle given that the stereotype plates were evidently available free to the asking for American radical publishers of the period and completeness of the second part of the Bible of Nature is unclear and may have been included here simply as a sort of table of contents to the volumes that here follow; whether this sammelband is as published and sold by the radical reformer George Henry Evans or had collected by an early reader is unclear. The New-York edition of Opus Maxium not located in OCLC. A nice copy with minimal wear some foxing and light staining; but still very good -- entirely and pleasantly readable throughout. Scarce. C.

1814ref. 0072711814. Quarter Vellum. Cloth Boards. Near Fine. Spectacular manuscript estate survey maps from early 19th Century. Folio 53 by 39 cm. 6 text pages followed by ten double paged maps all handsomely colored and detailed. The first nine maps are numbered 2 to 10 per table in front showing that notwithstanding the enumeration there is not a missing map. One map with extra fold-out flap addenda. An additional double-sided hand-colored map in the back inserted into the foliio and then two additional hand-colored survey maps by de la Marche or his son loose -- never bound in -- architectural sketch of the chateau footprint done in pen-and-ink -- two other smaller less visually exciting maps and some correspondence. Maps are colored in greens reds yellows and blues. The washes of color together with the obvious precision of the draftsmanship render these maps utilitarian in purpose originally pleasing to the eye and very decorative. Tiny vignettes of churches mark villages and forests are signified by dots representing trees as was the convention. This chateau belonged to M. François Louis Barrairon at the time. It is located in the Indre-et-Loire Department and is between and equidistant to Tours and Vendome. Condition: bottom of leaves stained and sometimes slightly chipped or chewed looking. A few other minor chips. A few un-obtrusive well-executed repairs of tears. unknown books
1960ref. 225421960. LGBTQ Lesbian Pulp Lesbian pulp novels published between 1960 and 1965 a crucial phase in the emergence of lesbian literature in American pulp publishing. These authors wrote about queer experience at a time when lesbian representation was largely dominated by heterosexual male writers and constrained by censorship that required publishers to present same sex desire through salacious marketing and "moralizing" tragic or heterosexual endings. Valerie Taylor Velma Nacella Young Paula Christian Yvonne MacManus and March Hastings Sally Singer were among the small group of queer women producing lesbian novels that treated relationships between women with greater emotional complexity and personal insight exploring themes of lesbian identity and the social consequences of living as an open or closeted gay woman. Several titles by these authors were later identified by lesbian bibliographer Barbara Grier as "A" tier works in The Lesbian in Literature indicating major lesbian thematic content and sympathetic narrative treatment. Archive includes: 1 Valerie Taylor Pen name of Velma Nacella Young. Stranger on Lesbos. Greenwich CT: Fawcett Crest 1960. First Crest printing February 1960. One of Taylor's most enduring works centering on Frances a discontented wife whose encounter with a vibrant lesbian social circle leads her to confront her own desires. A landmark title in Grier's A tier for its substantial lesbian content and refusal to deliver a purely punitive ending. 2 March Hastings Pen name of Sally Singer. Crack-Up. Chicago: Newsstand Library 1961. First printing. Subtitled on the cover: "The torment of a woman-frustrated in marriage-torn between desire and compassion." Hastings one of pulp's most prolific lesbian authors explores emotional collapse and the redemptive possibilities of same-sex love with more psychological nuance than the genre typically allowed. 3 Artemis Smith Pen name of Annselm Morpurgo. This Bed We Made. Derby CT: Monarch Books 1964. First Monarch edition originally published 1961. Greenwich Village-set tale of Elaine Perkins who marries to satisfy societal expectations but is drawn into a relationship with Nicole an artist's model. Back cover tagline: "Wife or Lesbian" 4 Valerie Taylor Pen name of Velma Nacella Young. Unlike Others. New York: Midwood-Tower 1963. First edition. From the author of Whisper Their Love and Stranger on Lesbos Unlike Others follows women whose relationships defy convention and societal approval. Known for infusing pulp conventions with emotional depth Taylor was one of the few openly lesbian pulp authors of her time. 5 Morgan Ives Pen name of Marion Zimmer Bradley. Spare Her Heaven. Derby CT: Monarch Books 1963. First edition. The story of Kathara a stage performer worshiped as the "Goddess of the Temple of Joy" whose allure draws both men and women into a cult-like world of pleasure. While framed through pulp's "devil or angel" dichotomy Ives weaves subversive notes of female autonomy into the sensational plot. 6 Paula Christian Pen name of Yvonne MacManus. The Other Side of Desire. New York: Paperback Library 1965. First printing. "Is it lust or love when one woman desires another woman" Carrie risks her marriage children and reputation for an affair with Kim only to find herself enslaved to "forbidden sex." The significance of these novels lies in their authorship and perspective. During the 1950s and 1960s lesbian pulp fiction formed one of the few widely distributed literary spaces where queer women could encounter representations of same sex relationships even when those narratives were sensationalized by commercial marketing. Writers such as Taylor Christian and Hastings expanded the thematic range of the genre by incorporating elements drawn from lived queer experience including emotional partnership internal conflict and the pressures of secrecy.
